Chapter 94: Self-Detonation

Everyone took a closer look and discovered that those black shadows were actually countless adult Jingwei birds of massive size, currently swooping toward them.

Their numbers were simply too great.

Upon hearing the cries for help from the fledglings in the cages, these adult Jingwei birds became instantly furious, their eyes turning blood-red as they let out bursts of shrill shrieks.

Then, they flapped their wings and, with incomparable speed, charged toward Lin Feng and the others.

Clearly, they also realized that these people, Lin Feng and his group, were capturing their offspring; how could the naturally protective Jingwei birds endure this!

They vowed to kill all these invading enemies!

The few adult Jingwei birds that had been chasing Su Chen and his two companions also turned their direction in unison upon hearing the fledglings' cries for help, turning back to slaughter Lin Feng and his group.

Now, Lin Feng and the others were caught in a pincer attack from front and back.

"Damn it! How did so many Jingwei birds suddenly pop up?"

This heroic act by Lin Ming won the admiration of everyone.

Everyone gasped in cold air; this Jingwei bird leader was simply too formidable.

"Lin Ming!"

Was it time to die now?

Boom!

At this moment, he placed his hope in Su Chen.

When so many adult Jingwei birds appeared in the forest, Lin Ming knew that his side had been schemed against by Su Chen.

After all, with their current strength, even if they fought these Jingwei birds with all their might, they could ultimately not avoid the fate of being killed.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng and the others stood on the other side of the crater, their bodies in a wretched state, each of them carrying some degree of injury.

Boom!

Unfortunately, there was no response for a long time.

However, Lin Feng did not feel pain; instead, he felt somewhat dazed, his mind constantly pondering where exactly things had gone wrong.

Immediately following, rolling, violent shockwaves swept across the wilderness; many Jingwei birds were caught in the aftermath, some were blown away, but more only suffered minor injuries.

One could see that where Lin Feng and the others had originally stood, a crater over ten meters wide had appeared.

Seeing Lin Feng in such a state, Lin Ming's eyes brimmed with tears as he choked out, "Young Master, take care!"

"It's over!"

Hearing this, Lin Feng nearly fainted; the Heavenly Treasures from the "Spirit Fruit Garden" he had worked so hard to find had all been taken by Su Chen.

He let out a roar toward those behind him.

"Young Master, many of these adult Jingwei birds have strength that has reached the Supernatural Realm, and some are clearly even stronger than us!"

The group scrambled to hoist Lin Feng up and fled in the direction away from the Jingwei bird nest.

Seeing many of his subordinates injured by Lin Ming's self-detonation, the Jingwei bird leader was instantly enraged; it flapped its wings, whipping up a gale, and struck fiercely at the backs of Lin Feng and his group.

"Young Master, stop shouting."

At the moment the adult Jingwei bird leader's attack descended, a terrifying pressure arrived, causing everyone's hearts to stop as if they had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

This scene was highly ironic; as the Guard Captain, Lin Ming had previously been isolated and marginalized by the group, yet at this moment, he had chosen to self-detonate, seeking only to buy a little time for everyone to escape.

It scanned the group with a sinister gaze and snorted coldly, "You hateful humans, daring to capture my kin; today I shall exterminate you all and feast upon your flesh and blood!"

"Chu Xiu! Once I catch you, I will definitely kill you!"

However, when the dust and smoke cleared, everyone saw the scene before them and froze, their eyes wide, revealing expressions of disbelief.

The rest of the group also reacted one after another and hurriedly turned to flee.

As the voice faded, it flapped its wings and dove straight down, carrying terrifying power as it smashed violently toward Lin Feng and his group.

Just at this moment, a sharp cry came, making one's hair stand on end.

At this moment, Lin Feng was trembling with rage, gritting his teeth.

After saying this, he shouted to the group behind him, "Everyone, run!"

"You all quickly take the Young Master and go, I will hold them off!"

Everyone looked back to see the Jingwei bird leader leading a flock of Jingwei birds in pursuit of them.

"Young Master!"

Lin Ming hovered in mid-air, his face flushed red, his robes fluttering without wind.

Then he charged toward the flock of Jingwei birds.

Seeing this, everyone knew that Lin Ming intended to self-detonate, sacrificing himself to trade for a chance for everyone to survive.

Lin Feng looked at the dense swarm of adult Jingwei birds all around and couldn't help but curse, startled.

"Damn it! What do we do!"

Amidst the flying dust, the ears of Lin Feng and the others were ringing, as if they had gone deaf.

Boom~

Lin Ming's body instantly turned into a rain of blood, and a heaven-shaking explosion occurred within the Jingwei bird flock.

He had originally thought this hunting trip would end smoothly; he never expected to encounter such danger!

"Quick, get into the forest!"

"Want to escape? Die!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Ming was also scared pale; he was truly afraid this time!

"I hate this!"

Lin Feng's eyes were moist; although he was a spoiled brat, seeing Lin Ming willing to give up his life to protect him, he could not help but feel immense sorrow.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp."

The claw strike from just a moment ago, enough to shatter mountain rocks, had actually been used to gouge out a ten-meter-wide deep pit.

Looking at Lin Feng lying on the ground with a weak aura, everyone's eyes were red, their hearts filled with indignation and grief, yet they were completely helpless.

They just hadn't expected Su Chen to scheme against them in this place.

Fresh blood stained the ground red!

Very quickly, over a hundred massive and extremely ferocious adult Jingwei birds had surrounded them completely.

"Ah!"

Lin Feng's face showed despair; he had no time to defend himself and watched helplessly as the giant claw swiped down toward him, a bitter smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

It was just that, in the end, they were one step too slow.

Seeing the Jingwei birds drawing closer and closer, everyone panicked, their hearts filled with despair.

"This..."

Lin Feng's entire body was sent flying like a shooting star for several hundred meters, slamming into a towering tree, snapping the ancient giant tree in half before rolling onto the ground.

Thinking that it was he who had caused Lin Ming's death, Lin Feng roared at the sky, his eyes blood-red.

"Young Master, run!"

"Young Master!"

Just at this moment, among that group of massive adult Jingwei birds, the largest one, escorted by the other adult Jingwei birds, flapped its giant wings and flew toward them.

Rumble!

A sudden thunderclap erupted!

"Brother Chu, come quickly to my aid!"

The next second, a dull sound of collision rang out, and the ground trembled.

Seeing this, Lin Ming stepped out, shook his head, and sighed softly: "Those three from the Heavenly Dao Sect have likely already run away."

Lin Ming was dead!

Lin Feng stared blankly at the scene before him, an inexplicable sorrow in his heart; he had not expected that Lin Ming, who usually followed by his side, had actually died.

Lin Feng managed to muster his last shred of strength to warn the others before falling into a coma.

Hearing this, the group carried him and rushed into the dense jungle.
